Itouch device not recognized by itunes

My Ipod touch does is not recognized by itunes under devices.  Please help.  I have tried the steps by resetting the itouch but does not work.

So what you can do is put your ipod in DFU mode or device firmware update mode by connecting your device to the computer your using and then hold the sleep/power button for 4 seconds then while still holding the sleep/power button down hold the home/middle button down and holding that for 10 seconds after that release the sleep/power button and continue to hold the home/middle button for about 15 seconds, hope this helped.

  • IOS5 Update causes Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows

    iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
    I did an iPad1 IOS5 update and on the reboot could not get iTunes to recognize my iPad.
    I did all the recommended troubleshooting to no avail. So I called this morning and while on hold I put my password back on my device just as before and BAM iTunes now recognizes device and is doing my restore.
    So if you do a backup of your device before the update and you have it password protected, it won't recognize the device until you go through and setup a new device and put your password back to what is was before, then BAM you're good! Good Luck and hopefully you won't have to spend the day I did figuring this out.

    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.

    Hello rebakahloper,
    It sounds like you are getting a messages saying your device could not be recongized correctly. You've done a great amount of troubleshooting, and I dont know if you have done these steps specifically, but I recommend the following troubleshooting:
    iPod nano: Error message saying that iPod 'could not be identified properly'
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3218
    Verify that Apple Mobile Device Support is installed
    iPod nano requires Apple Mobile Device Support, which should be automatically installed with iTunes. To verify whether it is installed, follow the steps appropriate for your Windows operating system below.
    Windows XP: Click Start and select Control Panel. Open the Add or Remove Programs control panel and verify that Apple Mobile Device Support is visible in the list of currently installed programs.
    Windows Vista and Windows 7: Click Start and select Control Panel. Click Uninstall a program (or if using Windows Vista's Classic View of the Control Panel, click Programs and Features) and verify that Apple Mobile Device Support is visible in the list of currently installed programs.
    If Apple Mobile Device Support is not listed, remove iTunes, QuickTime, Apple Software Update, and Apple Application Support, and then reinstall iTunes. Follow the steps appropriate for your Windows operating system below.
    Reinstall iTunes for Windows XP
    Reinstall iTunes for Windows Vista or Windows 7
    If Apple Mobile Device Support is still not installed, follow the steps in this article.
    Verify the device's USB connection
    Disconnect all USB devices from the system with the exception of the iPod nano and any USB keyboard and mouse. Then restart your computer.
    Verify that you are using a high-powered USB 2.0 port. Do not use a USB hub to connect your iPod.Determine whether your computer has USB 2.0.
    Test with an alternate iPod USB cable if one is available. Remove any USB extension cables, and verify that the iPod USB cable is connected directly to the computer.
    Verify that the Apple Mobile Device Service and iPod service are both running
    iPod nano (5th and 6th generation) require both the Apple Mobile Device Service and iPod service.
    Refer to this article to restart the Apple Mobile Device Service.
    Next, refer to this article in the section titled "Restart the iPod Service".
    Verify that the Apple Mobile Device Driver is installed
    iPod nano (5th and 6th generation) requires the Apple Mobile Device USB Driver (usbaapl.inf or usbaapl64.inf for 64-bit). In some cases, you may need to update or reinstall this driver. Follow this article, in the section titled "Verify that the Apple Mobile Device USB Driver is installed".If the issue remains, repeat this step in safe mode. To start your computer in safe mode, see the appropriate Microsoft article below, depending on which version of Windows you have:
    Safe mode for Windows XP
    Safe mode for Windows Vista
    Safe mode for Windows 7
    Once in safe mode, repeat the steps in this article in the section titled "Verify that the Apple Mobile Device USB Driver is installed." Once complete, restart your computer as usual to get out of safe mode.
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    All the best,

  • IPod device not recognized by iTunes on PC

    I have an iPod Touch. Worked fine for a couple years. Then someone got a hold of it and disabled it by mis-entering the passcode numerous times so that now the display reads "iPod is diabled, try again in 5259129 minutes." I was told that I could simply plug it in and restore it. However, when I plug it in, and iTunes opens, the device is not recognized at all {Devices does not even appear on the menu on the left side}, and instead a small window opens with the following message: "iTunes could not connect to the iPod Touch because it is locked with a passcode. You must enter the passcode on the iPod before it can be used with iTunes." Well I cannot enter the passcode for about ten more years. I just want to restore it--I don't care if I lose everything at this point. What I can't figure out is how to get the iTunes to recognize the device so that I can restore it. I have tried reinstalling iTunes twice, to no avail. Help!

    Thank you so much--the article you referred me to provided the procedure that worked for me. Previous trouble-shooting instructions I had found did not indicate that I needed to continue to press the "Home" button after reconnecting the USB cable until the "Connect to iTunes" screen appeared. We were able to do a restore. THANKS AGAIN!
